Introduction This course is mainly about integration and applications.
Also part of the course are the topics of series, approximation of functions,
and differential equations. This second course in calculus assumes that
you know and can use the basic ideas covered in MTH 141. As in MTH
141, we will approach new ideas and problems from algebraic, graphical,
and numerical points of view.

Goals and Objectives.The goals are to have you develop symbol manipulation
skills, mathematical modelling skills, skills in the use of technology to
treat mathematical problems, an understanding of the language of calculus,
and an appreciation for the uses of calculus in the sciences.
At the conclusion of this semester you should be able to:

1. Calculate integrals using a variety of algebraic and
numerical techniques.

2. Solve problems in geometry, physics and probability
using integrals.

3. Solve first order ordinary differential equations by
graphical, numerical and algebraic techniques, and to set up mathematical
models for problems in the sciences.

4. Calculate approximations to functions using the concepts
of Taylor and Fourier expansions.

EvaluationThere will be two exams and a final exam. Also,
there will be three Modeling Projects that involve the use of Maple. The course
grade will be computed as follows:
Course grade
= ( 100 E1 + 100 E2 + 200 FE + 100 MP + 100 CW ) / 600

Key: E1 = Exam 1, E2 = Exam 2, FE = Final Exam, MP
= Maple/Modeling Projects, CW = Class Work. Class Work
may include collected homework, quizzes, or other. Exams will be given during
normal class time on June 5th, July 3.
The final exam is on Thursday, July 19

Maple InformationWe will continue the use Maple in this course. The Maple
software is available in most computer labs at both URI Kingston and Providence
sites.

If you did not take MTH 141 at URI last semesteryou
might be unfamiliar with Maple. There is an introductory worksheet at www.math.uri.edu/Center/workc2.html
, which combined with the Getting Started with
Maple book that came with your text should be enough to help you begin
your work.

Attendance,quizzes, homeworkPolicy on attendance, quizzes and homework will be announced
in class. Also, check the FAQ (frequently asked
questions) section of the course's web site, where you will find
information about Incomplete Grade, Second Grade Option, URI's Civility
Policy, and many other topics.

Special AccomodationsStudents who need special accomodations and who have
documentation from disability services should make arrangements with
their instructor as soon as possible
